Advantages: How games should be made

Disadvantages: Some people may prefer the recent versions with much more detail

This without doubt has to be one of the greatest games of all time, and for football fans has to be the greatest Football Management game ever, even greater than the one released in recent years with the full bells and whistles. Even now I still occasionaly go back to playing this version and for good reason, which I will talk about.

This game had a lot of depth, with over 100.000 players to choose from. CM enables soccer fans to act out their footballing dreams, whether they be leading Manchester United to Europe or a lower division team to the dizzy heights of the Premiership.

The game is packed to the brim with footballing delights. Sort out players who misbehave, calm down the chairman when things aren't going according to plan and worry about contract disputes with your top players.

Once you've played it for a while, you soon appreciate why managers get grey hair!

One drawback for CM connoisseurs is the inability to control more than three leagues at any one time. To be frank, though, this doesn't really detract from the game.

CM is still best on a PC. But if you don't own one, then the Xbox version is an absolute must for all football fiends.

Summary: Ultimate in Football Management
